Arf!

I have a new hobby: making treats for my four legged child! Jackson has definitely changed our lives, I can't imagine not having a dog now! How can you resist this sweet face?

There is no way I could make these without the help of my handy dandy stand mixer, that's for sure... I have modified the directions to be for the mixer. The treats call for so much flour and tend to be dry. The good thing about Jackson is he'll eat just about anything... even slightly crispy! I figured it would be best to start out with peanut butter treats since that's his favorite.

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees. -In the mixer bowl, combine dry ingredients.-Slowly add milk and peanut butter, mixing well.-Knead with the dough hook until well blended and the dough forms a large ball. -Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out shapes. -Place on a greased baking sheet and bake 20 minutes or until lightly brown. -Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

About Me

My husband and I were married on 7/22/06 on a cruise ship... we now live in NC with a black lab named Jackson and are enjoying life! Unfortunately this includes the slow process of me learning to cook, and as he would confirm, many very dry chicken breasts and things that, well... left much to be desired. We're trying to eat *relatively* healthy, so you'll see nutritional information at the bottom of each post!
